Chapter 289: About Dark 1
Shen Xiaoxiao thought she heard wrong. What did Yan Kuan say? Dark 1 was from the Ouyang family? How was that possible? Hadn’t Dark 1 grown up with Yan Kuan? How could he be from the Ouyang family?
Could it be that he was the same as Yan Kuan? He had once run away from the Ouyang family?
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s puzzled expression and explained patiently for her:
“Dark 1’s father was the previous guard commander of the Ouyang family. He grew up with me.”
“Twenty years ago, Ouyang Tian ordered for Ouyang Jinling and I to be set on fire, and it happened to be executed by Dark 1’s father. Who knew that Dark 1 would accidentally overhear it at that time? He secretly ran over from the dog hole to tell me, letting me know in advance that he had saved my life.”
“Dark 1’s father, Ouyang Yi, is a son of the Ouyang family. He has never done anything to let the Ouyang family down in his life. When he discovered that Dark 1 had saved me, not only did he personally kill Dark 1’s sister and make her pretend to be my corpse, he also wanted to kill Dark 1 and his mother. Dark One’s mother was beaten to death by his father in order to cover for Dark 1, so Dark 1 ran out.”
“His father, Ouyang Yi, was afraid that things would fall apart, so he had been secretly trying to assassinate Dark 1. Dark 1 met me later, and we ran abroad together.”
“Ten years ago, Dark 1 returned to China and met Ouyang Yi. At that time, Ouyang Yi was already dying. Before he died, he made Dark 1 agree to take over his position. He couldn’t hand over the position of dark guard commander that had been passed down in his family for generations, Coincidentally, at that time, I already had the intention to get rid of the Ouyang family. Dark 1 decided to fall into the trap and become a double agent!”
“It’s that complicated? However, Dark 1’s father is quite ruthless. He can he get rid of his own daughter, wife, and son. Why is that so?”
“Also, it’s unbelievable that Dark 1 agreed to be the leader of the Ouyang family’s guards so easily.”
“Dark 1 is not his father’s biological son. When his mother was pregnant with him, his biological father had already passed away.”
“Ouyang Yi had a hostile attitude towards Dark 1. He had treated Dark 1 extremely poorly since he was young, and he had long wanted to kill Dark 1. Moreover, if he killed Dark 1 and his sister… It would be better for Ouyang Yi if he remarried and gave birth to a successor with a true bloodline.”
“What about Dark 1’s sister? His sister is Ouyang Yi’s biological flesh and blood. How could he do that?”
Shen Xiaoxiao still could not understand why the Ouyang family would breed out all these vicious and abnormal people.
“They are a hereditary family. If they are daughters, then they are the Ouyang family’s hereditary maidservant.”
“There are usually only two outcomes for the Ouyang family to be a maidservant. Either you are trained to be a concubine, or you are paired with the other servants of the Ouyang family.”
“Ouyang Yi is such a proud and arrogant person. As the commander of the guards, do you think he would be willing to let his daughter be a servant? Moreover, he forgot to tell you that Ouyang Yi’s daughter is also Dark 1’s younger sister. She was born with six fingers. Such a person would never be used as a concubine in the Ouyang family. Therefore, his younger sister was destined to die.”
“So, Dark 1 has been holding a grudge because of the matter between his mother and younger sister?”
“Yes, to Dark 1, only his mother and younger sister were related to him by blood. He had been abused by Ouyang Yi since he was young. It was impossible for him to have any feelings for Ouyang Yi. Therefore, agreeing to Ouyang Yi being the guard commander of the Ouyang family was also a temporary measure.”
“He scared me. I thought your most loyal Dark 1 had betrayed you. I scolded him terribly back then. Will he be angry?”
Yan Kuan smiled and still stroked the soft hair on the top of her head. It had reached her shoulders and was very soft to the touch. Not bad, she was well-fed!
“If Dark 1 is really angry with you, you won’t have those chicken legs and bird’s nests that you eat every day. Do you think that a prisoner can have such good food? Besides, in case of poison, maybe Dark 1 made these dishes himself!”
This time, Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. Dark 1 made it himself, which surprised her a little.
“Then, over there, there is a hollow under a stone. Could it be that Dark 1 sent it as well? Could it be that the password last night was also his?”
“Smart. Apart from me, only Dark 1 knows this password. It was originally the communication cipher between me and him. However, since I gave it to you, you naturally know it too.”
“So you were really unconscious. Then why did Dark 1 capture me? Isn’t he worried that the Ouyang family would attack me too?”
“Dark 1 captured you because he had no choice. I was unconscious all the time and there was no possibility of me waking up. Moreover, the medicine was still a little damaged. Therefore, in order to wake me up, Dark 1 tried his best and sent you in. However, it’s safer for you inside than outside. That fake was deliberately arranged by the Ouyang family. Ma San is still with him. I have to deal with these things slowly after I get out!”
“Alright, then do you want to go and see if the bottom of that rock is hollow? We have to think of a way to get out. We can’t possibly be trapped here and wait for those people to come tonight, right? Oh, right, there’s also that black-clothed man. Why do I feel like that black-clothed man is Third Uncle?”
“You’ll naturally know who the black-clothed man is in the future. Alright, someone is coming. Be careful.”
After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes. Only then did Shen Xiaoxiao perk up her ears to listen. As expected, there was a slight sound not far away. Someone was coming. Looking at the time, it was already noon. It should be the person who delivered the food. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking. She sat at her feet and repeated the actions she had done every day to massage Yan Kuan’s limbs.
The secret guards at the door were at least one meter away from the iron gate, so it was very difficult for them to notice Yan Kuan and her movements unless they were standing at the iron gate and watching them. Of course, this was absolutely impossible, and their voices were very low, it would be really difficult to notice them.
Kacha.
As expected, it was the person who delivered the food. There was still the white-cut chicken that Shen Xiaoxiao liked to eat today, and there was more than half of it today. Speaking of which, Shen Xiaoxiao now believed that this was really a secret preparation because her appetite was getting bigger and bigger. From the beginning, there were only a few pieces of chicken, but now there was already half a chicken. Every time she ate it, she ate it all. Shen Xiaoxiao had previously thought that this chef of the Ouyang family was quite understanding and knew that her appetite was slowly growing. Now that she thought about it, it turned out that it was all a secret arrangement.
More than half of the white-cut chicken and a big bowl of rice was prepared. Shen Xiaoxiao brought the food over without any hesitation.
After washing her hands, she picked up the half chicken and started to eat it. She also handed the food to Yan Kuan and told him, “If you eat this, I’ll eat meat.”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s protective look and shook his head with some heartache and amusement. If she liked to eat meat, then so be it. These days had really been hard on her.
However, in the past, he could not rely on those drugs to maintain his physical strength. If it were not for the little thing feeding him some liquid food every day for the past half a month, he might not have been able to wake up and have the physical strength to do the things he did now.
So, he took these dishes and ate them without hesitation…
